When was the last time you hung out without checking your phone? The Offline Club Bristol invites you to a digital-free evening at UNIT8 Studios. Phones locked away, distractions off, conversations on. Come solo or with a friend. Leave feeling lighter.
This is a group for women who have chosen not to have children, where you can connect, share experiences and make real friends. It's about celebrating our freedom and the choices we have made whilst respecting the choices of others. Women of all ages are welcome. We have a regular monthly drinks meetup, plus a variety of other events organized by and for members. Why join us: You may be new to Bristol... You may have just heard that the last of your core friends is pregnant... You may be feeling like your existing friends are just not as available to do stuff. You may be exhausted with justifying to everyone why you're not having babies! In this group you can be yourself, knowing we are all childfree and 'get it'. The paths that bring us to childfree are many and varied but we are united by positively embracing it. Please note this is not a platform for bashing parents or to be anti-babies/children. Let's also be respectful of those who may be child-less not through choice. The Facebook Community (Bristol Childfree Women | Facebook) Join our Facebook Community ‘Bristol Childfree Women’ where we share stories and experiences offering support and understanding. It's also a great place from which to suggest and meet informally outside of the organised events here. Our WhatsApp groups We now have a few area based WhatsApp groups which are a great place for organising more impromptu meets for coffee or local events. These groups work on the basis that: Everyone contributes - the group is not 'owned' by anyone Be proactive - suggest things and don''t leave others in the lurch We’re all adults - respect other members and be generous East Briz no Kidz: South Bristol Footloose and Childfree: Glossy Rd and Childfree: Bath: https:/

Join us for an evening of nerdy conversation and drinks at Sportsman Bar! Whether you're into comic books, video games, science fiction, or any other kind of geeky pursuit, you'll find like-minded folks to chat with at this event. This is a casual event, so feel free to come alone or bring friends. We can't wait to meet you and share our passions for all things nerdy. Sportsmans Bar (Colston Street, Near Bristol Beacon) is a sports bar in central Bristol, they have a very large function room we can have all to ourselves! The function room contains multiple large tables, a TV for games and plenty of seating area. We even get to control the music!. To reach the function area you will need to walk all the way to the back of the main bar and head down a staircase. If you have any reservations about attending (safety, shyness, general enquiries etc) feel free to message me (Harry) via meetup messages or WhatsApp and I will reply as quickly as I can.
Note: Café Philo is a way of meeting interesting, inquiring people who enjoy talking about life's big issues and conundrums in a convivial atmosphere, rather than a heavy-duty philosophy seminar. Read more about our approach here. Moral blind spots are cases where people or societies sincerely see themselves as decent, yet fail to notice serious wrongs embedded in their own beliefs or practices. They are not usually a matter of explicit cruelty but of systematic inattention, rationalisation, and social normalisation. Institutions such as slavery, public torture, and the legal subordination of women were once treated as natural or even virtuous, and only later recognised as grave injustices. The idea of a “blind spot” highlights this gap between self-image and moral reality. We can distinguish several patterns here. Sometimes people literally lack crucial concepts or facts, and so cannot yet see an issue as moral at all (a kind of genuine moral ignorance). Sometimes they see the facts but interpret them in purely technical or economic terms, so the ethical dimension drops out of view. In other cases they do register some unease, but resolve the tension through rationalisation, group loyalty, or deference to authority, pushing doubts to the margins of attention. There are also cases where people know something is wrong yet remain silent from fear, convenience, or career incentives; the silence of many then helps the blind spot persist as if nothing were wrong. This topic connects closely with classic debates about moral realism and relativism, because talk of “blind spots” and “moral progress” seems to presuppose that some practices are genuinely worse or better, even when insiders think otherwise. It also raises questions about responsibility under moral ignorance: to what extent are individuals or cultures blameworthy for wrongs they could not easily recognise at the time? P

We are a group mainly for gay and bisexual men looking to make friends and expand our social lives and interests in the Bristol area. We are accepting and welcoming of other orientations and identities, but whatever our differences the thing we all have in common is: we identify as men and are attracted to men. As a group we value and encourage respect, tolerance, kindness and understanding and as such we do not tolerate unkind behaviour towards each other or behaviour which condones intolerance.
We're a friendly and welcoming group who loves East & South East Asian culture and food. This group has been running for few years now albeit under different names (ask us about it). If you are nervous about coming for what ever reason don't hesitate to DM us beforehand and come along! If you want to join the WhatsApp chat, please DM for the link.
This group is for anyone interested in Buddhism or anyone simply wishing to try out Buddhist meditation in a relaxed and friendly setting. Sessions are led by experienced meditators who give an introduction to tranquillity meditation to help develop a calm and peaceful state of mind. This meditation technique is common to all Buddhist schools and our particular transmission is from the Sakya School of Tibetan Buddhism. For those who would also like to find out more about Buddhist ideas and beliefs, our Discover Buddhism classes combine tranquillity meditation with a talk on a key topic. After each class, there is also time to ask questions and talk to fellow meditators. Every session is open to all and no booking is required. More info on Sakya Buddhist Centre and Dechen
The goal of Bristol Nerds is to provide an active social community for people who are interested in things of the nerdy variety. We aim to hold one "Hangout" event every 1-2 months with a variety of ad-hoc events taking place around that. We have a very active WhatsApp and Discord communities around our events \(links in event descriptions\)\. Join for discussion and ad\-hoc events around all sorts of things\. Food \| Memes \| Sports \| Boardgames \| Books \| Many more\.\. FAQ What counts as being a Nerd? As silly as it sounds absolute anything! We've had all sorts of nerds join us over the years. All you really need is a willingness to engage with everyone else non-judgementally. If you aren't into anime/gaming/whatever thats fine. What can I expect from events? Our hangout events are primarily free style socializing events in which you arrive and can talk to anyone. Please keep in mind there are rules you should be aware of before attending - ( We take the safety and comfort of all members very seriously, you should treat everyone you speak to as humans. That means zero tolerance to hatred or creepy behaviours. How do I join the social communities? Most events will have social links, we dont have them here due to bots. We have a discord server and a set of WhatsApp's. Some events only appear in WhatsApp/Discord so if you are really keen to get fully involved you will want to join those. We have a variety of different WhatsApps for different topics so remember to browse the community and join all groups that apply to you. What if I feel very shy/anxious about attending? Dont worry this is (unsurprisingly) quite common amongst nerds/introverts. Everyone attends their first meetup at some point and it is generally a bit nerve wracking. The good news is once you've done it once it gets much much easier. Mainly remember you aren't under p
